Getting to know Maria Hernandez

Hi there, I'm Maria! I am excited that you are here today. My primary job as a psychotherapist is to assist others in managing issues in life. I enjoy helping others and providing the right tools to individuals so they can see their potential and make progress toward their goals. However, this is not my only role in life. I am also a friend, partner, and step-parent, all of which shape who I am today and influence my personality. I believe my personality is very welcoming to others. I am friendly, a good listener, and empathetic; these qualities have helped my approach in therapy by easing the process of building rapport and creating an accepting environment. I was raised in a home with values and morals that now define who I am and have also helped my career, including being humble, honest, respectful, and caring. I hold a Master's in Counseling from the University of Phoenix. My approach Throughout my nine years of experience, I have worked with various diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and adjustment disorder, among others. I also have certifications in EMDR, Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and the Batterers Intervention Program. My focus My experience ranges from working with individuals involved in domestic violence relationships to supporting children, other family members, and perpetrators. By providing education and the right tools, I help individuals process trauma, heal, and create positive change. I also enjoy working with teenagers struggling with communication, acceptance, and other issues. Working with couples can be challenging at times, but it is rewarding to help change negative patterns and increase healthy communication. Additionally, I have worked with individuals to treat various diagnoses, including anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder.
